Sorry for this (Sort of) bump, but I'm getting quite annoyed by the arena tournaments.
I don't mind the randomness of the fights (One time a 1v1, the other time a 3 v 3 v 3 v 3) This makes it interesting to see what you're up against next.
What I am annoyed by is the random choice of weapons. Let me explain:
I'm often specced as a mounted warrior, be it with a lance or a heavy two hander, I'm effective with everything except for ranged weapons (But I'm getting better at that).
Even on foot I am a sufficient fighter, atleast for long enough untill I can find a horse to quickly mount.
But when I'm at the last one v one battle, for all the prize money (And by then I have often spent all my money, seeing as I do arena fights in the beginning of my games to quickly cash in) I sometimes get a bow and arrows. Now if I were on foot and the enemy too had a bow and arrows, I would've won. But the enemy had a one handed sword and shield.
Seeing as I hardly did anything about my ranged weaponry, my aiming was way off. Combined with the fact that he had a shield, and could just walk up to me to then batter me until I was unconscious, losing all the money, leaving me frustrated, because this happened 3 times in a row already (I was hopping from city to city)
I'm not asking to be able to choose if I get a horse, nor if I can exactly choose my weapon (as from a list or anything)
But at least it would be quite handy to be able to choose ranged / close-quarters because oftenly if you have one, you hardly have the other. (Especially concerning the ranged)
Hope something can be done to put into the final version of the game (Seeing as it's so close now).
